Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Gathering Dinner

Jiang Cheng looked helplessly at Principal Wang and Manager Guo, who were sincerely planning for her future.

"Would you two calm down for a bit and listen to me, okay?"

Principal Wang and Manager Guo exchanged glances.

That glance aligned them on the same front.

Jiang Cheng was speechless.

Could you two at least pretend to consider my presence? I’m still here, you know?

"Principal, it’s not that I won’t go to the big city, it’s just that I don’t want to go right now."

As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Principal Wang and Manager Guo’s piercing gazes shot towards Shen Que.

It must be because of this brat!

Dating really hinders progress!

Shen Que also looked up.

Though he was head over heels, he didn’t think Jiang Cheng was doing it for him.

Jiang Cheng wouldn’t let herself do that.

She has bigger goals and a broader mindset.

Jiang Cheng followed Principal Wang and Manager Guo’s line of sight, both amused and annoyed.

"It’s not Shen Que! Please don’t let your imaginations run wild."

"Wait, let me finish."

Jiang Cheng watched as Principal Wang was about to interject and continued, "Principal, it’s not that I’m not going, I just want to wait two years."

"With my intelligence, don’t you think I’ll be even more impressive in two years?"

"Besides, I currently have a collaborative project with the food factory. After returning from the village, I have a proposal for collaborating with the machinery factory, and I have ideas for the textile, ceramic, and bamboo factories."

"I want to take advantage of my youth to try everything I can do, want to do, and am capable of doing."

"I believe that, for now, my impact by staying can be greater than by leaving."

After she finished, Jiang Cheng spread her hands, waiting for Principal Wang and Manager Guo’s rebuttal.

But the two of them exchanged glances for so long that Jiang Cheng thought they might fall in love.

No way, that thought is too terrifying!

Jiang Cheng pulled her thoughts back.

"Are you two stunned by my impressive speech?"

Principal Wang and Manager Guo snapped back to reality, each with their own expressions looking at Jiang Cheng.

Principal Wang sensed the determination in Jiang Cheng’s words and could only pretend to be disdainful, "Alright, alright, let’s leave it at that, but you have to accompany me to the night school in the provincial capital—"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey—this isn’t fair! Using me and then discarding me? I just helped persuade you, and this is how you repay me!"

Manager Guo was unhappy.

Principal Wang reasoned logically, "Don’t make it sound so harsh! Besides, you didn’t succeed in helping, so what kind of repayment do I owe you?"

Manager Guo was temporarily at a loss for words, angered by Principal Wang’s sophistry.

Frustrated, he looked directly at Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng! You handle this!"

Jiang Cheng really wanted to respond with a dramatic facepalm and a bitter smile.

"Manager Guo, when is your commendation ceremony?"

Right after asking, Jiang Cheng saw Principal Wang’s unwilling expression and shifted the question, "Principal Wang, when are you going to the provincial night school?"

Manager Guo: "October 22nd."

Principal Wang: "October 20th."

Jiang Cheng looked at the two with a ’do I even need to say anything?’ expression and said, "So, I can attend both, can’t I?"

Attend both?

Principal Wang and Manager Guo awkwardly lowered their heads, having forgotten about this.

"Ah..."

"Being too talented is truly a burden!"

Jiang Cheng got up triumphantly, asking with a cheeky grin, "Who’s paying for the travel expenses?"

Principal Wang and Manager Guo exchanged a glance.

"He will!"

Their rivalry ignited again.

Jiang Cheng shook her head, chuckling, ignoring the mock-seriousness between the two, anticipating the joyful time ahead.

The big courtyard became lively with Jiang Cheng’s silly reindeer and the Flying Dragon.
